LETTER: Obamacare needs to go

It should be fairly apparent to everyone by now that Obamacare is a failure, unless its real goal was to crash the health care system and provide the government an excuse to implement “single-payer.”

The fact that the executive branch has had to modify the law without congressional approval more than 30 times speaks volumes to its unworkability. A quiet exemption to the individual mandate was passed, which most people may not have heard of, covering people who say that they couldn’t afford coverage, or that they couldn’t get through on the government website. This covers a large chunk of America.

Add to that the admission by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius that next year premiums are likely to increase, which seems counterproductive to the law’s stated goal of reducing costs.

Mind you, everything this administration has done seems either deliberately designed to hurt America or smacks of a level of incompetence that could only be regarded as criminally negligent.

Right now, for example, as our enemies have become emboldened by Obama’s wishy-washy foreign policy, the administration is actively gutting the military. Without even interviewing the groups targeted by the IRS, the FBI has said no charges are likely.

Obamacare is endemic of an arrogance in government, telling the public provable falsehoods, such as keeping our plans and doctors, and reducing costs. They make us buy plans that include coverages we may not want or need. They change the rules without correct procedure whenever it suits them.

Obamacare is a bad law from an administration that is either corrupt or inept, and it needs to go.
